Clean Energy, Healthy Environment

We need to protect our planet for the future. Everyone deserves affordable, clean and reliable energy that doesn’t pollute our air. We also need a healthy environment.

Supporting Renewable Energy

The energy market is broken. It’s dominated by a few big companies who are pushing prices up and holding back the transition to renewable energy.

Labor and the Liberals continue to let coal companies run our energy system and get away with ripping off Victorians with skyrocketing energy bills.

As the Greens’ Spokesperson for Climate and Energy, I’m proud to have helped secure a Victorian Renewable Energy Target and more investment in renewable energy.

The Greens’ have a plan to transition Victoria’s energy from coal to 100% renewables by 2030. We will also reverse the damage done by privatisation, by bringing our energy system back into public hands.

Protecting Nature

Our stunning forests should be protected for all Victorians to enjoy and as habitat for endangered species. Instead, Labor continues to log these forests to make cheap paper. The old parties are pushing endangered species, like the Leadbeater’s Possum, to the brink of extinction.

The Greens will continue to fight to end logging in native forests and create the Great Forest National Park and Emerald Link.

Our national parks protect habitat and water supplies, and allow Victorians and visitors to connect with nature. The Greens will continue to campaign to restore funding to save our National Parks from neglect and corporate development.

As Greens Spokesperson for the Environment, I’m proud to have secured 130 more rangers for our National Parks through negotiation with the Government. But our National Parks need more support.

The Liberals slashed National Parks funding in 2014 and Labor has the worst record on new National Park Creation in 60 years.

We need to restore National Parks funding, create new parks to preserve precious habitat and stop destruction by invasive species.

Our environment is under constant threat from pollution, unchecked development and climate destroying projects.

The Greens will continue to work with local communities to stop projects like the monster gas ship proposed for Crib Point in Westernport Bay, fracking on our farmland and destructive gas exploration along our coasts.

We will also introduce a 10c refund on bottles and cans, and stop cruel practices like duck hunting, battery hens and sow stalls.
